Summary

The fact that changes in plantar pressure during walking and in a fixed position in morbidly obese individuals and the relationship between postural oscillations and balance have not been fully elucidated creates a need in this area. In this study, primary aim is to investigate the change in plantar foot pressure, balance parameters and the relationship between them in morbidly obese individuals compared to healthy individuals.

Conditions

• Obesity, Morbid
• Foot Deformities

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Assessment	Bioelectrical impedance analysis method was used to evaluate the body composition of the cases. Muscle, fat, water ratio was made with Inbody Bioelectrical Impedance Device. Static and dynamic plantar pressure analyzes were evaluated with Sensor Medica pedobarographic measuring device, and postural sway was evaluated with "bilateral comparison tests", one of the dynamic balance tests of Biodex Balance System.
